WalMart sells the harness the guy needs complete with color codes for a
fraction of the prices listed in your link.

And "they" include the needed converter in the connection kit, so it is
difficult to determine if a converter is needed or not unless one assumes
the over priced $45.00 kit includes a converter while the over priced $25.00
kit does not. The ONLY reason to buy this product is to avoid splicing
wires. The company provides a simple connector that plugs into the existing
wire harness.
